poxon 5,865 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I personally think it’s a good thing for lads to dream and have ideas about investing or business ideas it tends to spark curiosity and push people in to looking in to things or maybe trying things I also think it’s a good thing to have people round you who support any ideas you may have and push you to succeed and keep the negative people and there opinions to one side god loves a trier right short time living long time dead! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree, but my rather off the cuff attempt at a joke was in fact deadly serious…..now this is just my personal opinion and has been my firm belief for 23 years…. Some things you can’t buy….no matter how much to earn….as in no amount of money can pay for it. Someone mentioned Bill Gates, well with that 10 million a day he can’t buy 5 minutes ago….just cant ! He can’t buy any sports day he missed with the kids (if the horrible looking c**t even has kids)…..he can’t buy the day he never took off in order to just sit in the garden with his family and just soak up being around them……he can’t buy any of that….its impossible ! I bet anyone on this thread who has lost someone really special in their lives would give up everything and live in a tent if it meant they could sit in a chair in the garden next to that person, hold their hand and soak up the sun and tell them how much they mean for just one more day. I loved chasing a pound note when I was young, worked morning, noon and night, always switched on and always hungry…..then my first child was born and I decided that no matter what I earned I couldn’t earn time. By all means, I’m as impressed by a switched on lad as the next bloke, more power to their elbow but I’d say to anyone (especially lads in middle age onwards) never forget some things have a price and some things have a value….always stick with value. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True wilf very much so, I have nt really missed much in the way of kids growing up, obviously working a lot and I’d love to chill out in the garden with family etc, that’s what the weekends for, no point sitting with friends if you got no dollar for a bit of scran and nice drinks.my kids would rather go on decent holiday than have me at every event. My lads into shooting , I spoil the little bugger and spend £10,000 a year on it . He learns respect, and meets people all over the uk so it money well invested and I enjoy going along . I sometimes see the ole dole queue gang walking along with the ole grey matching trakkies, roll up on the go, cheesy tattoos, shouting at the kids dressed in rags, spending what money the govt give them on themselves, I often think do the kids respect the dad bieng so f….g useless?. I ain’t no snob lived in a caravan as a kid with sweet f.a. But fit and healthy young lads that sit about all day don’t make sense to me. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
